Cold's List of Good Shmups
Under constant revision
This is a list of all the good STGs I've played, varying from the best games ever made to some I reccomend more out of curiosity closer to the bottom. Feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments :)

Na-nanannanananaaa- Katamari STG
There's very little to Tumiki fighters, it's extremely short, quite easy and doesn't really demand repeat playthroughs much - but it doesn't need to be. For the short duration and low challenge, it's packed with charm and the hook of it basically being katamari, but a shmup, definetly carries it.

Einhander has really cool systems and great music, but the level design and such just isnt enough to push it over the edge of just being a cool game. The JP cover art is also amazing and i cant believe IGDB changed it.

Completely unhinged and bonkers to an extent where its almost purely curiosity. If you gaze into the abyss, sometimes the abyss stares back.

A fantastic spiritual sequel to battle garegga with a fantastic, unique art style, fun mechanics and great music. It would be way higher if it weren't marred by visibility issues, and unfortunately there only being one decent way to play it - on an Arcade PCB. Still, incredibly cool.

BEE STORM gets a lot of shit, but for being a sequel made by a completely different dev with wildly different systems, it aint that bad. Fair play to IGS.

TBH Tom, if it didnt look like shit, it would probably be top 5
i see that looking like shit didn't stop it from getting to top 5
Nope >:)
blue revolver's desc still says it edges out zeroranger btw
TF4 at the bottom of the list is so funny
goddamn i was spending quite a lot of time trying to come up with a good list. but i gave up after seeing this. pretty much on point.
@zombiehunter837 - make your own list! i'd like to see it. this is all very subjective and i like seeing others tastes :)
